The eyes of TJ Eckleburg symbolizes the destruction of the American Dream. Evidence: Billboard fading, Main characters going into NYC to commit corruption and the Eyes looking upon the death of Myrtle. Like spiritual values, the billboard is neglected.

“But his eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days, under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground”. “This is a valley of ashes – a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of ash-grey men, who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air.” The hollowness that the author describes the eyes and how its faded represents the neglect and destruction of the American dream and how it looks upon only the material wealth and not the morals of people. The eyes are also set in the valley of ashes where the poor lived and it represents the hollowness of the American dream and that its a big lie and that that gold will turn into ashes. Corruption of the American society/dream.

Tom go on his affairs with Myrtle, watches Gatsby drives to meet Wolfshiem to bootleg, and watches Daisy go find new thrills with Gatsby. The eyes watches how the main characters go in and out of NYC to commit corruption. George said “God knows what you've been doing, everything you've been doing. You may fool me but you cant fool God”. George is referring to the eyes and how you can fool everyone but the eyes know what you have done and what corruption you have contributed to the American dream. What these main character do shapes how we see the American dream and it tells us it can lead to destruction. The eyes watch as Myrtle’s American dreams died along with her. Eyes see how Myrtle and Tom's affair began

Watched it grow, watched how desperate she wants to live the American dream. She had it but to only die because of it. She got hit by Tom's car and died...

The Meaning of the Billboard Eyes of T.J. Eckleburg
There are many symbolic themes in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby; the names of people and places, attributes of characters or the green light at the end of the docks. One of the recurring and arguably most meaningful symbols of the story, however, are the eyes of the long since departed oculist T.J. Their various references and meanings as a symbol in the novel shall be discussed in this following text.
The aforementioned eyes appear on a billboard, advertising an oculist and overlooking the Valley of Ashes. They are introduced to the reader during Nick’s first journey to the Valley. Already in this initial mention, the eyes are given human characteristics and life: “But his eyes … brood on over the solemn dumping ground” (??, ch. 2). Already here it is made clear that the eyes are more than a simple commercial. They are given further life in a later instance as the eyes keep “their vigil” (??, ch. 7) as Jordan, Nick and Tom are at George Wilson’s garage for gasoline and are watched by Myrtle. Finally they are brought to life and given a mystical aspect as “the eyes … emerged … from the dissolving night” (??, ch. 8). These descriptions draw a picture of ever watchful, contemplating and giant, ominous eyes watching over the people, reminiscent of the eyes of God. This theory is reinforced when Wilson recollects...

...In the novel ‘Roll of Thunder’ T.J. Avery is a young black boy who has a younger brother named Claude and two sisters. His family work for Harlan Granger and T.J.’s best friend was Stacey Logan. T.J. is a deceitful, chatty, lying and arrogant boy. At the end of the novel, T.J. is wrongly accused of murder, caused by R.W. and Melvin Simms, and was beaten up and could possibly go on the chain gang, but would most likely die. There are a number of clues in the novel to suggest that T.J. would get into serious trouble.
The main clue we are given to suggest T.J.’s final downfall is that he doesn’t take responsibility for his wrongdoings. Two examples of these are when he gets caught for going to the Wallace store, but he lies and says he was up there to get Claude, which is shown when T.J. says, “but don’t worry, I got out of it, I just said that ole Claude was always sneakin’ up there to get some of that free candy Mr. Kaleb give out sometimes… Mama ‘bout wore him out!” The other time he blamed someone else to get him out of trouble was when Mama Logan was coming towards him in a test and he slipped the cheat notes he had to Stacey, who is supposed to be his best friend. Stacey got the blame and was whipped by his mama in front of the whole class. This is shown when the other Logan children are looking for him and Little Willie says “We was in the middle of an examination and ole T.J. slips out the cheat notes… then he sees Miz Logan startin’ toward ‘em and he slipped Stacey...

Facts:
Application by one of the two joint-owners for removal of caveat.
One of the co-owner of the land deposit the title with R to secure a loan.
Before the deposit of title with R by the said co-owner, the co-owners of the land agreed to subdivide the land and later on to execute a cross-transfer.
Collector of Land Revenue asked R to deliver to him the title of the IDT so that he can sub-divide the land. R did so.
R later enforced the lien -- by lodging a caveat over the undivided half-interest of the said co-owner in the land. The caveat was registered with the Registrar of Titles.
A claimed that the lien had been lost when R departed with the title. He wants R to withdraw his caveat so that cross-transfer can be executed. (Because there was caveat, registration of transfer was refused.)
Held:
S 134 of the Land Code:
When a lien is intended to be created over any land the proprietor may deposit his grant, lease of State land, certificate of title, or extract from the mukim register, and the person with whom the same has been deposited may present a caveat. Upon registration of such caveat the lien shall be created.
IDT must be deposited to the person who wished to enter into a lien-holder’s caveat
Lien is not created upon deposit of title as it was before (S 80 of Registration of Titles Enactment) but only upon registration of the caveat.
Lien may not be lost where possession is no longer...
